  • Just for reference: the nail polish is supposed to create a random, near-impossible to replicate pattern using the metal flakes inside that get randomly distributed during application. You’re supposed to take a picture of the blob after it has dried and keep that at home for comparison - the nail polish is not a miracle replacement for e. g. Loctite that will make it impossible to undo the screws.

    I do in fact use unrefined, brown cane sugar, although I have not tried panela specifically.

    The one I use pretty much looks like this:

    It’s an organic fair trade brand, but I’d have to look up where it is imported from.

    As I said, I can’t imagine making it with any other kind of sugar any more. Sorghum seems like an interesting idea, might have to experiment with that.





  • An interrupt is an input that can be triggered to interrupt normal execution. It is used for e. g. hardware devices to signal the processor something has happened that requires timely processing, so that real-time behavior can be achieved (for variable definitions of real-time). Interrupts can also be triggered by software, and this explanation is a gross oversimplification, but that information is what is most likely relevant and interesting for your case at this point.

    The commands you posted will sort the interrupts and output the one with the highest count (via head -1), thereby determining the interrupt that gets triggered the most. It will then disable that interrupt via the user-space interface to the ACPI interrupts.

    One of the goals of ACPI is to provide a kind of general hardware abstraction without knowing the particular details about each and every hardware device. This is facilitated by offering (among other things), general purpose events - GPEs. One of these GPEs is being triggered a lot, and the processing of that interrupt is what causes your CPU spikes.

    The changes you made will not persist after a reboot.

    Since this is handled by kworker, you could try and investigate further via the workqueue tools: https://github.com/torvalds/linux/tree/master/tools/workqueue

    In general, Linux will detect if excessive GPEs are generated (look for the term “GPE storm” in your kernel log) and stop handling the interrupts by switching to polling. If that happens, or if the interrupts are manually disabled, the system might not react to certain events in a timely manner. What that means for each particular case depends on what the interrupts are being responsible for - hard to tell without additional details.







  • NewPipe stops working whenever Google updates YouTube with a breaking change that NewPipe needs to integrate then, e. g. renaming parameters, changing URLs and the like.

    NewPipe has been steadily working for years, with the expected interrupts as they have to play catch up with YouTube. That typically only lasts a few days, sometimes hours, though.
